[QUOTE="skman, post: 6790362, member: 123570"]Im not sure about the US oilfield...but up in Canada...the rates are in the dumper. Its tough to hire guys back at the wages they want (and deserve) with the low rates. As the patch picks up...hopefully rates will rebound. But its slow going right now. When I came back to oilfield just over a year ago...oil was just about $40. Diesel was about .80 cents a litre. Today oil is over $60....diesel is 1.10 a litre...and my rates have barely moved since I came back. Old O/O told me the other day....takes years to get the rates up where they should be....but only a week for them to drop to nothing.[/QUOTE]
